Postmatch editorial

The pre-match tension never quite broke

The final score was Paderborn 1-1 TSG Hoffenheim. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

Robert Skov  put the first mark on the match 4', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: TSG Hoffenheim led Shots on target 2-7, even though the scoreboard went another way. TSG Hoffenheim also shaded Corners 2-8.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made TSG Hoffenheim the favourite at 46.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
